A lovely girl with a thing for fashion, food and travels

I have a cold at the moment but this didn’t prevent me from going to Pollock exhibit in Milan at Palazzo Reale on Saturday.

I don’t know if I told you about my passion for art in one of my posts. The fact is that I really enjoy art. That’s why as soon as there is something interesting I decide to go there and admire these beauties.

Just a couple of infos about this fantastic painter.

Pollock was born in Cody, Wyoming, in 1912. He was an influential American painter and a major figure in the abstract expressionist movement. He was well known for his unique style of drip painting. Jackson was one of the major artist of his generation, but he had a volatile personality that driven him to alcohol. Pollock died at the age of 44 in an alcohol-related car accident.

Together with Pollock’s paintings there were some other works from other artists of the same period as De Kooning, Hofmann and Newman.

These are some of their paintings. I really like them. I don’t know why, they just spread a mix of emotions that I can’t explain.

Some time ago I went shopping but I was a bit busy so I didn’t show you what I got.

There were things I really need and things I didn’t need that much, but I liked them a lot and I wanted to have them.

I went first to H&M (it never disappoints me). I got a pair of aubergine super stretch jeans and a light wool cardigan. And, drum roll, I finally found the perfect jeans shirt. It’s just THE jeans shirt. I really love it.

I also went to Sephora and I took the 8HR wear mattifying compact foundation n. 21 and I bought again the Benefit Fake Up concealer n. 02 (I wrote a post about it some time ago).

I also passed through Kiko and I took a Ready-to-go art patch nail lacquer, a stick concealer (n. 02), the Latex Like Lipstick (Iconic Magenta n. 02) and a Super Colour Mascara n. 07.

I’m fine..I’m a bit tired because of uni as usual. Luckily during the weekend I had a day off and I decided to visit Turin with a friend of mine.

It was such an amazing day. We had so much fun and we saw a lot of beautiful places.

I had never been to Turin. And we wanted to visit The Museum of Cinema. So on Saturday we decided to take the train and spent the day in this lovely city.

It’s totally different from Milan. There is less chaos and everything seems more relaxed. Or at least this was my impression. By the way I really liked it.

I was pleasantly surprised about the museum. I didn’t think it would have been so interesting. I already know a lot of things about cinema because I’m attending a course about it at uni but I found out a couple of fascinating things.

My outfit was inspired by Katherine Pierce. She’s a bad vampire in The Vampire Diaries and I love her. She’s kinda aggressive so I decided to wear a pair of leather leggings and a blue blouse from H&M. Both my BFFs know that I love this tv series so they bought me Kathrine’s daylight necklace (vampire can walk during the day only with rings or necklaces like this that only a witch can create). It’s just beautiful!

I also curled my hair like her.

Talking about the make up, I took inspiration from some tutorials I found on YouTube. I mixed up all the elements I liked and that’s the result.
